Papermaking, Collaging, Stamping: Hands-On Paper Art

When water, fibers, and ideas come together to create unique artworks, the Gelsenkirchen Art Museum transforms into a creative paper workshop. During the two-day event on November 15, 2026, children and teenagers will discover various techniques related to paper, printing, and collage. The workshop is part of the NRW culture backpack and invites to a special family experience filled with learning fun, curiosity, and tangible results.

From Pulp to Personal Paper

How does a pulp become a sheet of paper? The young participants will experience the production process hands-on and work with paper, water, molds, and structures. The hands-on experimentation strengthens perception, promotes fine motor skills, and makes cultural education immediately tangible.

Colors, Shapes, and Imaginative Collages

In collaging, different papers, colors, and shapes come together to create personal image ideas. Children and teenagers will develop their own compositions, try out printing techniques, and use stamps to set patterns and accents. This creates an age-appropriate learning experience where creativity and independent design are at the forefront.

Experiencing Art Without Prior Knowledge

The paper workshop is aimed at children and teenagers and does not require any prior knowledge. Through creative guidance, a safe space is created for curiosity, a willingness to experiment, and focused work. Participants can develop their own ideas and take their results home afterward.

Shared Time at the Art Museum

Amidst the museum atmosphere, paper fibers, and colorful print traces, a lively family experience takes shape. Parents and children will see how individual artworks grow from simple materials. The event connects practical art education, child-friendly learning, and shared time in an inspiring environment.
